Found it, Here's a 1gr to cc conversion chart. Apologies, but I'm working on a $1 a week budget and didn't want to buy a scale for a single load. Cheers!

I believe the lee powder measure paper has those conversions in it. Sorry i didn't see this till now. I think a powder measure is less then 20 bucks too.

Biggest problem is getting the correct primer, I reload GP11 brass all the time I have 1000 berdan primers on hand I have et to open and I am down to about 100 from the first brick. RCBS makes a berdan de-priming tool that works great, it's what I use for pulling primers. I started by using a screw driver that I altered the blade to pull the primers out. Now that I have the RCBS tool it's a snap. Graf and Sons carries the primers and the tool. As to load data you can use most any info that is out there for the cartridge you are reloading just remember you are using a different primer than what they list so stay away from that max load.

with all the nice brass berdan primed cases just laying around at my shooting range , i might just buy a thousand primers and try the screwdiver trick ...
i am so poor i can only afford mustard and biscuits three times a week ..

I've got a mandrel welded onto a base bolted into my workbench (thanks Longcolt44) to hold the case while I use the screwdriver which makes it a snap to deprime.

cool , i will give that a try ....
these are 80's yugo cases , i am not sure if they are brass or just brass washed , but i know they are corrosive , how do get rid of the corrosive priming compound ? will washing them in hot soapy water do the trick ?

Just a hot water rinse should do the trick, I reckon. That's all that is recquired to de-salt the rifle barrel after all. It never occurred to me to de-salt the casings. I shoulda had a V8!
hi guys... first ever post so bear with me. to DS777... yugoslavian 80's 7.62x54r brass cases may have .254 size berdan primer. tula size is .217 for both "nato" sized and 7.62x39 sized. see if you can deprime one and measure it. 7.62 "nato" berdan tula is slightly taller than 7.62x39 tula as the primer pocket is deeper in "nato" size. It is a .217 primer and will fit lots of berdan brass... in many calibers of surplus we use. Yugoslavian brass 7.62x39 i have never been able to deprime due i think the heavy primer seal. RCBS thing does work nice but you will ruin a few "anvils" setting it up. have'nt worked with steel cases, but make sure they don't continue to rust like the chinese 7.62x39 i have. UK british cases use a .250 ish sized primer but most others will use a .217 tula size. lots of useable brass out there, but it can be finicky with primer crimps etc. will help with any info or experience i can. try googling RWS berdan primers... they may have a chart for what primers fit what cases. there also is an offset pin punch gizmo i saw on youtube...3/64 pin offset on a rod to punch the primer out from inside the neck of the case... like a decapper with the pin off to one side....however flashhole size does vary on brass...say FN brass 7mm mauser fn69 has a tiny flashhole where 7.65 and 8mmand 30-06 have a standard size.
and didn't want to buy a scale for a single load. Cheers!
